Women entrepreneurs are rising in powerful new ways. We’re leading teams, building communities, and creating businesses that heal. But something big is happening right now that’s opening even more doors—the rise of collaborative authorship.
I should know. I’ve published 100 book titles like this and watched as our lead authors gathered powerful communities of co-authors to gift the world with stories, tools, and strategies for living amazing lives. Take our recent book, for instance. Joy Unleashed, The Ultimate Guide to Living Your Best Life. Lead author Shari Alyse gathered her experts across all lanes of joy and published an international bestselling book in multiple categories on Amazon.
“I’m so glad I said yes to this, Laura!” Shari told me recently. She’s a badass, a risk-taker, and invests in her community and their wellbeing. Our missions align completely. I love collaborating with powerful women like Shari!
Collaborative authorship is when many authors come together to write one book. Each person shares a story, a lesson, or a tool. Together, these chapters create a powerful message that one person alone can’t share.
For women entrepreneurs, this is a game-changer. It’s helping us grow our influence, expand our message, and heal ourselves and others through our words.
Just ask AliceAnne Loftus, the founder of the Leading Ladies and Lead Author of the three-time Amazon bestselling series, We Lead.
“When you get women together to build connection, community, and collaboration, magic happens!”
I agree wholeheartedly!
And it’s changing the landscape of business in a big, beautiful way.
Why This Matters for Women Entrepreneurs
Women often face barriers in business that men don’t. We’re expected to “do it all.” We’re judged more harshly. We’re told to be quiet, small, or “less emotional.”
But women are also natural storytellers. We know how to share from the heart. We know how to lift each other up. And we know how to turn our lived experiences into wisdom.
Collaborative authorship gives us a place to do all of that.
It lets us come together, support each other, and tell the truth about what it takes to build a business, survive challenges, and keep believing in our dreams.
It helps women speak up, step forward, and be seen.
The Healing Power of Sharing Your Story
When a woman tells her story, something healing happens—not only for her, but for the reader, too.
Many women entrepreneurs carry stories of burnout, feeling alone, not being supported, trauma in the workplace, self-doubt and fear, or losing themselves while trying to succeed.
Writing these stories down is brave. It takes courage to say, “This happened. This is what I learned. This is how I rose again.”
In Brave Healer Productions’ collaborative books, women feel safe telling these stories because they aren’t doing it alone. They’re part of a circle. They’re held and supported by other authors who know what it feels like to rise from the fire.
This creates deep healing for the writer and deep connection with the reader.
Why Collaboration Works Better Than Going Alone
Most people think they need to write a whole book by themselves to become an author. But that’s not true anymore. In addition, the age of the “Guru” is gone. Women know the power of collaboration and their contribution to those collaborations. Collaborative books offer a smart, powerful, and easier path.
- Shared energy: Writing with others fosters a sense of community among women.
- Shared visibility: Each author brings her own network.
- Shared wisdom: Every woman brings her own gifts.
- Shared strength: When one woman grows, we all grow.
- Less pressure, more joy: A single chapter is easier than a whole book.
How Collaborative Books Grow a Woman’s Business
Becoming an author builds trust, creates leadership, attracts clients, brings speaking opportunities, grows networks, and creates a ripple effect that lasts for years. What starts as a shared project can end in lifelong friendships, legacy business partnerships, and collaborations.
Rewriting the Story of Women in Business
Collaborative authorship isn’t only about publishing a book. It’s about rewriting the narrative. Women don’t need to build alone. They don’t need to hide their emotions. They don’t need to shrink. They get to show up in their full truth.
The Deep Soul-Level Benefits
Women begin to trust their voice, honor their story, heal wounds, claim their power, and stop hiding. Many say writing their chapter felt like a healing ceremony. Some tell me that they continue to write (and heal) because of their experience in a safe container.
Why This Movement Is Growing Fast
Women want connection, community, support, calm, joy, purpose, and meaning. Collaborative authorship gives all of that. It helps women rise together. When those communities enjoy authentic leadership (great leaders breed great leaders) the possibilities are limitless.
